These ten seniors have gone to school together for tliir- teen years: John Maze Don Rose, Bob Lamb, Nancy Smith, Sheila Morrison, Pat Callaway, Grace Prince, Bob Sapp, Gordon Mobley, Roland Wilt, 4 Lights! Action! Camera! As the cameras started rolling it was 194i and we saw a large group of freshmen entering Carroll High School. This entrance was marked by the Mixer, where underclassnien and upperclassmen mingled. This year everyone went Western style, As the show progressed, a few brave frosh asked girls to the Military Ball. This first episode of the four part serial ended with the big freshman picnic at Swan Lake, where everyone was loaded into a large truck to be taken out to have a good time, Chapter Il of the serial began with a group of sophomores entering the school more bravely and self-assured, Those few sophomores who were in the band went to the Ak-Sar-Ben Rodeo to perform for the first time in several years, The music department then gave an operetta, The Hither and Thither of Danny Dither, in which many sophomores took part, To end this chapter, the soph's also held their picnic at Swan Lake, Chapter III opened with the juniors, real upperclassmen, making big plans for ordering their class rings. Before they arrived, however, the Junior Class Play, Jumping Jupiter, was given, Spring came and the juniors, who had been selling refreshments at football and basketball games, busily made plans to entertain the seniors at the Jr,-Sr, Banquet, The theme, Tulip Time, was successfully carried out with windmills, Dutch girls and boys, and tulips on the tables. A Dutch scene adorned the fireplace mantel. To climax this year, the junior class had their picnic at Lake View, The last, and probably the most exciting, chapter of this serial began with the seniors giving the Mixer for another freshman class, The year progressed and the seniors were kept busy, Pictures had to be taken and hand- ed out, cards exchanged, and announcements sent, The first thing to break into this steady stream of graduation preparations was the Senior Class Play, Dear Ruth, taken from the stage play of the same name. Shortly after this was over, the juniors treated the seniors at the Jr, -Sr, Banquet, but this time the Class of '55 was the royalty, The theme, Moonlight and Roses, was very beautifully carried out with rose-covered trellises and a scene of a girl standing in the moonlight, The seniors had their annual Skip Day at Swan Lake because they lacked trans- portation to go elsewhere, To everyone's surprise, however, it was loads of fun, As May 22 rolled around, the seniors were excused from school--a week early to 'rest up for the big day, On May 24 the seniors donned caps and gowns for Baccalaureate, the first big step on the last mile, After four years of waiting, GRADUATION final- ly carrie on May ZS and school was over. The last chapter of the serial has ended, but much is yet to come for the Class of '53, WE STARTED TOGETHER IN KINDERGARTEN Q IL' eff
